I pray with hands folded and eyes to the sky
that God hear my prayer, that God hear my cry
Lord, rescue these children tortured and scared
Please comfort their hearts and let them know You are there
Please give us the courage to help create change
Let us help give them a voice
Let us help break the chains
They are products of greed,
they are sold for a cost
Please show them the way,
these hearts that are lost
TODAY is the day to open our eyes
To help spread the truth and stop all the lies
Each one of us has a role to play in this war
To give these victims wings and teach them to soar!
Lastly I pray, these traffickers see your light
Show them the way, restore truth to their sight
If change can begin inside each of them
We can help break the cycle,
and restore innocence in our children.
Last week I had the pleasure of taking some newborn photos of my friend's 3 week old little boy, Gage. As I was editing this picture, the innocence and pureness poured out of this particular shot and how much love his Mom has for him. Every child deserves to be loved this deeply and looked at as a precious angel. I thought it fitting to share this photo because it is a great reminder of where every child begins and how it is our job to protect their innocence and purity. It breaks my heart that these traffickers look at children purely as 'items' to sell and see dollar signs. When did humans become products to sell for money? When did our hearts become so hardened and full of greed that we would sell our own children to be used for sex? These questions plague my mind and soul and I can not begin to imaging the horror these women and children (trafficking victims) go through. However there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel!!! There are incredible organizations such as Compassion First, Not For Sale, and Love146 that are bringing awareness and are hands on, rescuing these trafficked victims. They are providing hope and a future with a safe place to stay, education and love. It begins with you and me! Yes, these organizations are making an incredible difference, but they do need our help, whether it be financially, with prayer, or volunteering. YOU can help make a difference in these women and children's lives! YOU have the power, YOU have a voice, YOU can help stop human trafficking!!! Please look at the precious faces around you and think what you would do if it was one of your kids, one of your neighbors, one of your nieces/ nephews being trafficked!? It isn't something just happening in the shadows, it is happening right under our noses. We need to spread awareness and take part in stopping the selling of humans! Please take action TODAY! Thank you for your time!
